Feb 17, 2008 If one can have a favorite beer this is probably mine (at least at this early point in my beer drinking life). I’ll give a real review next time I drink this.

Feb 16, 2008 My first sour (at least in quite a while). Dark copper pour with decent head. Nice slight oaky sour cherry taste. Pleasant mouthfeel and dry finish. Looking forward to another of these as well as more sours...

Feb 16, 2008 Bottle at the Rotherham Oakwood Beer Festival. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a thick tan head. Aroma is sour cherry and vinous. Flavors include a firm sourness, dark cherries, a little malt, some wood as well. Finishes dry and refreshing.

Feb 10, 2008 Not having sampled many sour beers, it’s hard for me to put this in any kind of category. The bottle I tried poured a dark red with a thin head. Fruity aromas are very present. The sourness is definitely there. Your mouth is left with that pleasant "dusty" feeling you get from a good dry cider. There may be others better out there, but this isn’t a bad beer at all.

Feb 10, 2008 Basically, this is Duchesse de Bourgogne "Lite"... if you like Duchesse, then you’re not going to be particularly impressed with this. If you don’t like the Duchesse, there’s a chance you’ll like this, as all the flavors are rounded off, so you don’t have to think as much. Not bad, but as long as the Duchesse is still flowing, I know what I’ll be drinking.

Feb 9, 2008 Updated: Jul 1, 2008Bottle@Dr.Bills thin head, red in color, strong wild/sour aroma with some spice. Fizzy with a nice start and leaves a nice aftertaste.

Feb 3, 2008 I love sour ... this isn’t sour. The microflora the label speaks of lend little funk and little sour. I agree with ElGaucho56 about the cherry/chocolate flavors, less intense than the Bell’s Cherry Stout, as I would expect. However, the odd balance between sour and sweet makes it hard for me to classify. I expected more given the description on the label.
